Recipe video above. All too often, mango muffin recipes lack actual mango flavour. It's not enough to just stir chopped mango into a muffin, and one mango is not enough for 12 muffins!But these muffins DO actually taste of mango, with mango puree stirred into the batter and plenty of chopped mango added! They sit tall and proud, with a crunchy top, lovely hint of coconut flavour and a beautiful soft crumb thanks to the moisture from the mangoes. You will need two very big mangos or three medium ones. If you are short, make sure you use the right amount for the puree then lose out on the chopped mango.
